Having a website is good but, generating the backup is also important and needed to generated every week or 10 days (I recommend) so that your content can be protected when site crashes or fail. These 2 words "site crash", no blogger wants to hear. The generating backups in regular intervals can help you from recovering the damage up to an extent. Sorry, but not totally.
If you are new in the blogging world and just posting articles daily, you will need backups also as a maintenance work. First of all, avoid any such things which brings spam to your site or any malware. They are the major causes in crashing the site. Now, How to generate backup and what precautions should be taken? So, that you will not repeat the same mistake as i did first time while generating backup of my site and fell in a mess or you can say out of space provided by the provider.
Follow steps to generate backup:
1. Login to your Cpanel of a site. Enter http://yoursitename.com/cpanel and fill the username provided and password taken.
2. Click on the Backup option (See the below image) and the backup window in cpanel will be open. They will contain different backups for your site like full backup, home directory backup or database backups.
3. Now, Click on the Home Directory Backup option provided and marked in the above image. The backup in .zip format starts downloading in your PC.
Precautions:
Now, the most important thing that a new blogger should not do is that he should not press the Full Website Backup option provided above the Home Directory backup. As, it generates the full backup of your site and doubles the provided usage space of your website. It just creates the redundancy of the data available in the directory and can create mess, if you are owing less space for your blog.
